Abstract
We use simulations to investigate the crystallisation of amorphous nanoparticles by organic monolayers. A simplified model of the system is used to permit the simulation of the nucleation process, however our results are sufficient to show that the presence of the monolayer is essential to obtain crystallisation and that the details of the surface structure of the monolayer are important in the crystallisation process.
